On returning to the hotel the man

From the Boston lobe.
Very few things are lost in this
world, They may disappear for a
time, like the ten tribes of Israel, or

like the hero in modern novel,
"later on" Twenty-Five years ago a
regiment of Maine soldiers W ere en-
camped at Arlington Heights, and the
boys, understanding that anything
belonging to the rebels was common
property ami therefore subject to
contiscation, ransacked the old Lee
mansion pretty thoroughly. They
captured old pipes aud cigars, and
wines and picture>, and everything
that was portable. OF course they
did not need many of these things.
Such articles which had belonged to
General Lee had q peculiar interest
and were very desirable. one soldier
who arrived late after the desired
articles had been taken, found tie old
family Bible. aud sent it down east to
his home in Maine There were
Bibles in Maine. but none like this.
After the war We over this soldier
returned home aud found to his sur
prise that the Bible contained all the
usual ingredients, including the Tou
Commanhm MT a1d Apocrynha, but
in addition to these, b tween the O Il
and New Te-taments, was complete
